Expertise & Research Interests
Dr. Therrien is interested in understanding the precise mechanisms through which damage to different brain areas disrupts sensorimotor function and motor learning, with a focus on studying the sensory and motor impairments caused by damage to the cerebellum. Her research uses behavioral, computational, and non-invasive brain stimulation methods to study upper extremity movement and postural control. She aims to apply this knowledge in developing new rehabilitation therapies for individuals with sensory and movement disorders.
